It has roots that date back to the ancient Greeks, notably with the works of Aristotle and the concept of Eudaimonia, which represents a state of complete fulfillment that goes beyond happiness. In modern psychology, it emerged as a scientific approach led by Martin Seligman in 1998, then president of the American Psychological Association (APA). Seligman realized that traditional psychology devoted much of its time to studying and healing the negative aspects of the human mind, but neglected the positive aspects, which are also important for mental health and quality of life.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, he proposed a new approach, which sought to understand and promote what makes life worthwhile, what generates satisfaction and personal fulfillment, and what contributes to human development and flourishing.<\/p>\n<p>Positive psychology is not a therapy, nor a philosophy, nor a religion. In this way, it is a science, based on empirical evidence, that investigates the factors that lead people to experience positive emotions, such as joy, love, gratitude, hope, optimism, enthusiasm, etc. In turn, these emotions are related to several benefits, such as greater self-esteem, self-confidence, resilience, creativity, productivity, physical health, and better interpersonal relationships.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><em>\u201c&quot;Positive psychology is the area of psychology that scientifically studies what makes life worth living, such as positive emotions, purpose, and healthy relationships.&quot;\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alem_de_Martin_Seligman\"><\/span>Beyond Martin Seligman<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Positive psychology is not limited to the work of Martin Seligman, although he is considered the most influential figure in the field. The five main \u201cfathers\u201d of positive psychology are William James, Abraham Maslow, Martin Seligman himself, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, and Christopher Peterson. Each of them made significant contributions that shaped the discipline:<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"mb-2 mt-6 text-lg first:mt-3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"William_James\"><\/span><strong>William James<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>William James is often considered America&#039;s first positive psychologist. He introduced the idea of\u00a0<em>stream of consciousness<\/em> (stream of consciousness) and emphasized the importance of understanding people&#039;s subjective experience. Thus, James believed that psychology should explore not only mental problems but also human capabilities and how people can thrive. His work, above all, emphasized the functionality of the mind and how it helps individuals adapt to their environment, which is central to positive psychology<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"mb-2 mt-6 text-lg first:mt-3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Abraham_Maslow\"><\/span><strong>Abraham Maslow<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Abraham Maslow is known for his\u00a0<em>Pyramid of Needs<\/em>, which hierarchizes human motivations, from the most basic to self-actualization. In this sense, he argued that, in order to reach maximum potential, people need to satisfy their needs in a specific order. Thus, self-actualization, the highest level of the pyramid, represents the desire to become the best version of oneself. Maslow focused on positive experiences and mental health, proposing that psychology should study what makes life full and meaningful, rather than focusing only on pathologies.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"mb-2 mt-6 text-lg first:mt-3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Martin_Seligman\"><\/span><strong>Martin Seligman<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>As we mentioned, Martin Seligman is widely recognized as the founder of modern positive psychology. In 1998, when he became president of the American Psychological Association (APA), he promoted a paradigm shift in psychology, emphasizing the importance of studying well-being and human virtues. Seligman developed the PERMA Model, which identifies five fundamental components of well-being: Positive Emotions, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Fulfillment. After all, his approach seeks not only to treat mental illness, but also to cultivate a rich and fulfilling life.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"mb-2 mt-6 text-lg first:mt-3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mihaly_Csikszentmihalyi\"><\/span><strong>Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi is famous for his <a href=\"https:\/\/mindsetreprogramado.com\/en\/high-performance\/flow-state-understand-what-it-is-and-why-it-is-important\/\">concept of\u00a0<em>flow<\/em><\/a>, a mental state in which a person is completely immersed in an activity, experiencing pleasure and satisfaction. He argued that the\u00a0<em>flow<\/em> is fundamental to achieving a state of well-being and happiness. Finally, Csikszentmihalyi contributed to positive psychology by showing how experiences of deep engagement can lead to personal growth and fulfillment.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"mb-2 mt-6 text-lg first:mt-3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Christopher_Peterson\"><\/span><strong>Christopher Peterson<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Christopher Peterson was a prominent advocate of positive psychology and co-author of the book\u00a0<em>Character Strengths and Virtues<\/em>, which classifies human virtues into categories. From this perspective, he emphasized the importance of character strengths in personal development and well-being, one of the foundations of positive psychology. Above all, Peterson believed that cultivating these strengths can lead to a more meaningful and fulfilling life.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"82h83\" data-start=\"221\" data-end=\"244\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Barbara_Fredrickson\"><\/span>Barbara Fredrickson<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"246\" data-end=\"1099\"><span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Barbara Fredrickson<\/span><\/span> She is one of the leading contemporary researchers in positive psychology, known for developing the... <a href=\"https:\/\/mindsetreprogramado.com\/en\/positive-psychology\/theory-of-expansion-and-construction\/\">theory of \u201cexpanding and developing\u201d<\/a> (Broaden-and-build). According to this approach, positive emotions such as joy, gratitude, interest, and love not only generate momentary well-being but also broaden people&#039;s repertoire of thoughts and actions. In other words, when we are in a positive emotional state, we become more creative, flexible, and open to new experiences. Over time, this process contributes to the development of lasting resources such as resilience, emotional intelligence, social skills, and the ability to face challenges. Thus, their research shows that positive emotions are not just a consequence of a satisfying life\u2014they are fundamental to building it.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Objetivos_da_Psicologia_Positiva\"><\/span>Objectives of Positive Psychology<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Promote psychological well-being.<\/li>\n<li>Identify and develop personal strengths and virtues.<\/li>\n<li>Helping individuals find meaning and purpose in their lives.<\/li>\n<li>Improve performance in areas such as work, studies and relationships.<\/li>\n<li>Reduce the impact of stress and increase resilience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p><strong><em>\u201c&quot;Positive psychology is not about ignoring problems, but about developing internal resources to better cope with them.&quot;\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Quais_sao_os_pilares_da_psicologia_positiva\"><\/span>What are the pillars of positive psychology?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In Martin Seligman&#039;s work we find the Model to explain what constitutes subjective well-being, that is, the happiness of each person, which can vary according to their values, preferences and goals.

It is a science that offers us tools and strategies to increase our well-being, according to our individual characteristics and circumstances. Some of these tools and strategies are:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Praticar_a_gratidao\"><\/span>Practice gratitude<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Recognize and be thankful for the good things that happen in our lives, no matter how small they may be. Gratitude helps us to appreciate what we have, reduce social comparisons, and increase our satisfaction and optimism. One way to practice gratitude is to keep a journal in which we write down at least three things for which we are grateful every day.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cultivar_o_otimismo\"><\/span>Cultivate optimism<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Having a positive outlook on the future means believing that things will work out and that we can overcome any obstacles that arise. Optimism helps us face difficulties with more confidence and determination, and to have more hope and motivation. One way to cultivate optimism is to write a letter to our future self, in which we describe what we would like our life to be like in a year, five years, or ten years, and what steps we will take to achieve that scenario.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Desenvolver_as_forcas_de_carater\"><\/span>Develop character strengths<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Identify and enhance our virtues and talents, which make us who we are and which set us apart from others. Character strengths help us express our authenticity, increase our self-esteem and self-efficacy, and contribute to the common good. One way to develop character strengths is to take an online test, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.viacharacter.org\/survey\/pro\/psicopositivaa\/account\/register\">VIA Survey<\/a>, which evaluates our 24 character strengths, and choose one of them to practice every day, consciously and intentionally.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Praticar_a_gentileza\"><\/span>Practice kindness<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Kindness involves performing acts of kindness towards others without expecting anything in return. Kindness helps us strengthen our social bonds, generate positive emotions for ourselves and others, and increase our self-esteem and well-being. One way to practice kindness is to make a list of acts of kindness that we can perform in our daily lives, such as complimenting someone, helping a colleague, donating something, etc.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mindfulness_atencao_plena_para_o_bem-estar\"><\/span><em>Mindfulness<\/em>: mindfulness for well-being<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Mindfulness, or <em><a href=\"https:\/\/mindsetreprogramado.com\/en\/mindfulness\/mindfulness-what-it-is-and-how-to-practice-it\/\">mindfulness<\/a><\/em>, is a key component in applying positive psychology to everyday life.
